"Sonny Rollins is arguably the most influential modern tenor saxophonist that jazz has produced. He began his musical career at the tender age of eleven, and within five short years he was playing with the legendary Thelonius Monk. In the late forties (before his twenty-first brithday), Rollins was in full swing, recording with jazz luminaries such as Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and Fats Navarro.
He was hailed as the best jazz tenor saxophonist alive during the years 1955 to 1959, and developed a method of improvising that involved a sophisticated sense of form. Jazz writer Eric Nisenson has penned a look at one of jazz music's brightest - and most enduring - stars."--BOOK JACKET.
